If an investment adviser withholds any information about an investment, especially if the investment is high-risk and could result in major losses, this act of withholding investment information is also a case of securities fraud. The high-pressure sales tactics often used to influence an investor into making an investment without disclosing all of the details of such a risky investment is also known as fraudulent misrepresentation, as the investment adviser or stock broker was sharing a deceptive and false interpretation of the investment in question.
